None are, though. Not as iconic as Mario (is anything?), but they’re all custom and easily identifiable.

All the ones I mentioned have custom sfx that are pretty memorable and iconic for anyone that has played those games. I bet most fans could ace a blind test of these sounds. (:

Halo: Shield depletion and recharge sound. Ghosts. Needler. Warthog. Sticky grenades. Energy sword.

I’m curios about this. Never heard anyone that didn’t like IMAX. Is it the size of the screen that bothers you? Assuming the film was shot on IMAX, how can a lower quality image be preferable?

“We have a feeling the Xbox One S will continue to drop in price now that it’s been succeeded by the Xbox One X.”

But they didn’t. MS doesn’t care if you play on Xbox or PC, they still get licensing fees to have games play on their platforms. They usually lose or break even on the consoles themselves.

I live about 20 minutes from Barceloneta. My parents lost power for a couple of days when Irma hit, but phone signal wasn’t affected anywhere on the island. I bet he’s talking about Maria.

I don’t see the resemblance, although they both borrow heavily from Pixar.

Probably so you can get new weapons and upgrades, switch weapons between characters, etc. It does look slightly out of place at first though. Funny thing is, Mario had a gun in Miyamoto’s first prototypes for Super Mario Bros.

People don’t get that MS isn’t replacing the Xbox One S, or trying to get everyone to upgrade. The X is just a premium option for the small group of people that care about higher end visuals.

We don’t say Toyota is crazy for making Lexus just because their Corolla’s are enough for the average consumer.

I didn’t expect to love Horizon as much as I do. It’s one of the few games this gen that actually surpasses the hype.

There are no “avian dinosaurs”, though. Pterodactyls aren’t dinosaurs either; they’re pterosaurs. To be classified as a dinosaur, it has to be a land animal that has its legs underneath its body, no to the sides (like a croc), among other characteristics.

I guess it depends on what you call a “good” exclusive. So far they got Halo 5 (the best Halo multiplayer), the Master Chief Collection, Gears 1 (remastered) & 4, Forza (5, 6, Horizon 2 & 3), Rise of the Tomb Raider, Ryse, Sunset Overdrive, Castle Crashers and Halo Wars 2.

And we still have Sea of Thieves, State of…

Sure! (:

With photogrammetry or other 3D scan alternatives you end up with a highly detailed 3D object, which can go up to millions of polygons. You can’t use that in a game; it takes up too many resources. You want a model below 250k, although that depends on the type of game, platform, how many characters/objects…

That’s a total cop out answer, hence why he ended with a joke. Even when photogrammetry is used, 3D models have to be manually edited (re-topologizing, polygon reduction, base model generation). If it wasn’t an artistic choice, it was definitely an oversight.

It won’t be a problem soon, at least on the Xbox side. The next Xbox One update will include a console-wide LFG system.

Welcome to Overwatch! Heck of an introduction! My wife started playing last week too. The bursts of laughter and victory screams at every good play make my day.

Those three are very hummable. Maybe you just don’t remember them (:

This is why I enjoyed parts Perfect Dark Zero despite its poor level design. The armor on the enemies would break and fall off, and it felt very satisfying. I think it was one of the first games in which I noticed this feature. The Brumaks in GoW2 have different layers of skin and muscle that you can chip away, which…

We used to go there about 3 times a year when I was younger. Now that there are 8 pokéstops there, my wife and I visit every couple of days :D
